When a new employee isn’t meeting expectations, it can be difficult to know what to do next. You may have concerns about their performance, conduct or suitability for the role, but it’s important to understand your responsibilities before making a decision.

While dismissal may be an option, probation does not remove an employee’s rights. Employers should follow a fair process, consider any support the employee needs and ensure that contractual obligations are met.

Setting clear expectations, holding regular review meetings and addressing concerns early can give employees a meaningful opportunity to improve. It also helps managers make informed decisions and explain the reasons behind them.

Our blog explores what employers should consider when managing probation and the steps to take if dismissal becomes necessary:

Employment law changes are continuing into 2027.

From January, the qualifying period for ordinary unfair dismissal protection is due to reduce from two years to six months, making effective probation management and early performance conversations increasingly important.

Further reforms are also expected throughout 2027, with changes affecting areas including guaranteed hours, shift notice, pregnancy and maternity protections, bereavement leave and flexible working.

Read our Employment Rights Act blog to find out what’s changing and how to prepare.

What steps is your organisation taking to support employee wellbeing?

Workplace wellbeing isn’t just about responding when someone is struggling. It’s about creating an environment where people feel supported, listened to and able to do their best work.

If you’re reviewing your approach to employee wellbeing, our free Wellbeing at Work Toolkit is a useful place to start.

Access the toolkit for practical HR guidance and resources to support your organisation.

Get your free toolkit via the Roots HR website.
